ABSTRACT:
A bearing mounting system for mounting and retaining a rotatable shaft between first and second bearings mounted to first and second spaced frame members of a machine frame, utilizing commercially available bearings, with respective inner and outer races. Both bearings inner races are press fitted onto the shaft. A first bearing mount rigidly secures a first bearing outer race to one of the frame members. A second bearing mount provides for axial movement of the second bearing outer race relative to the second frame member but prevents rotation of that outer race. The second mount includes a round aperture in the second frame member through which the second bearing outer race is axially moveable, and a notch aperture adjacent to the round aperture, and a clamp removably clamped to the outer race and moveable therewith. The clamp is axially but not rotatably moveable within the notch aperture in the second frame member. Preferably the clamp is generally cylindrical and smooth surfaced, and is partially notched to fit over and be fastened to a minor portion of the outer race.
